Was happy to see Cerrone back in form, he outclassed Stephens on the feet. Stephens is a tough dude though, Cerrone's legs kicks were WICKED.

The KZ fight was crazy good. I do wonder why he let the triangle go to try for the armbar, you could see Poirier's head turning purple and I thought he would tap/be out shortly. The darce, however, was sweet too

The KZ called out Aldo, but he has a lot of work to do if he gets a title shot. KZ's gas tank looked pretty empty in the 3rd, and if Poirier had any left too he would/could have taken the KZ out.

but yea, Cerrone looked outstanding once again, would have liked to see him finish the fight but Stephens is tough dude and yea Jabouin was impressive, each fights he impresses me more

KZ fight was nothing short of amazing, there wasnt a dull moment. I wont lie, I thought Poirier was going to wipe the matt w/ him but KZ brought it. He did look like he slowed down a tad but I think w/ his pace, I dont see who wouldnt

I too dont see him at the Aldo level but yet who is, maybe KZ will surprise everyone like he just did a couple of days ago. I love that he actually had the balls to call him out though, so many other 145s have been saying they're not ready blah blah blah.

The Maldonado fight was great too, epic body shots. Thought he had done enough to win but it was an extremely close fight.

I agree, if he didn't fight Nate's game, he may have won. But he got sucked into fighting a brawl, and it costed him the potential win.

I respect each of brothers as a fighter, but not a person.

Yep, mind games costed cowboy that fight, no question about it. Did you hear about the BJJ exhibition match no show? 2nd time now >_>

There's nobody in this weight division more suited in facing Also at this point. KZ will bring it to him. He's been shocking everyone lately but you have to remeber, the big difference in this KZ compared to the older KZ is that he's smarter now, he's just not running into stuff and brawling like before. He's a more mindful fighter that can still take a lot of dmg.

I too don't think he'll win but I think the match will be FOTN and potentially FOTY candidate. If things go past round 3, I'm certain Aldo will be gassed as well. KZ fights at a very constant pace and is always trying to finish.

No ''show"?

I dunno, the only time I seen Aldo gas was his fight against Hominick, but that was supposedly due to his weight cut. I think Aldo is too fast/powerful for him, but anything can happen.

yea, there was supposedly some problems w/ weight and the person running the event told Nick that Braulio was way over weight (when he actually wasnt). Nick got all pissed off and left w/ out telling anyone, leaving Braulio on the mat. Pretty shitty situation, who knows what actually happened.

did anyone see his so called apology before his management company took it down?

the first two paragraphs were all me, me, me, me, people hate me, me, me, me

what a bunch on BS, and he has the nerve to wonder why most people dont like him. it has nothing to do w/ his success or how easy he makes it look sometimes but rather how fake he comes across.

like when he said this

Yes that was a while ago and there's a lot of talk whether he's ready for another shot. I think he's definitely up there now.

I respect his skill in the cage but as a person, not so much

I saw it

I don't know why he doesn't just be himself. He seems like a decent guy, I'm sure everyone will see that. There's nothing wrong with being cocky/confident especially if you have the skills to back it up. He wants to be perceived as humble at the expensive of not being genuine. No doubt he'd have a stronger fan base this way. This sport is as real as it gets, if we wanted to watch something fake we'd watch wwe!
